material BOM existence

[Former Member]

hello experts

i need to know whether there is a BOM for a specific material before calling any FM that gives me that BOM such as:

CS_BOM_EXPL_MAT_V2

CSAP_MAT_BOM_READ

thats because i cannot have any exception thrown by this FM - its initialize my global variables (im using it in a BADI implementation - IF_EX_BOM_UPDATE-CHANGE_AT_SAVE)

i know that there is a table - 'MAST' that holds the BOM - but my guess is that it is not the only one...

my solution will be :

check BOM existence -

YES - call FM and get the BOM and repeat process on the answer

NO - return the material.

thanks ahead.

Hi,

Check the table STKO for BOM as Check table. then you trying checking the STPO then the MAST table.

Also try to check the Tcode -CEWB for the material and BOM linkage.
